Aston Villa coach Mile Jedinak listed focus and discipline as the two qualities that his team are showcasing.

With Villa managing six wins from their past seven matches, they are in contention for a European spot for next season.

Ex-midfielder Jedinak, who is their loan development coach, spoke about the team's improvement under manager Unai Emery.

Per the Express and Star, he stated: “It's been fantastic, they are on a brilliant run at the moment. I don't think anyone is getting carried away, there is a real focus there.

“There is a real discipline there in everything that is happening and that has been really encouraging to see.

“The atmosphere around Villa Park shows a sense of anticipation which is building and that is only helping the cause. That needs to carry on until the end of the season with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.

“Let's see where that gets us, it is being taken a step at a time and that will continue because there are tough games ahead and a lot of points to play for."
